Section VII Challenges and Events

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Hello all! We're posting this as an update to everything that goes on here on
section7mfu.  We have lots of options.  It's Spring, so time to do some house
cleaning and switching things up.

So if you could please comment on which challenges that are on 'hiatus' you'd like to see revived.

Just to clarify, the current challenges and non challenges are not going away, only
the scheduling might change for a few.

Once we hear from enough writers and readers, we'll run a poll to finalize.
You get to help to decide!

Here's the offerings for Section VII:

We're a writing site, that's pretty much all we do here. We're not just all about writing 'challenges', as the site is for open posting as well.  If you've written a gen or gen-mature MFU story, you're most welcome to post it here anytime!

The following is a list of our writing challenges, if you feel like 'jumping into the pool for some fun and games, so to speak. Or again, just post one of your own stories instead.

                            

We now have a quite number of challenges to choose from here on Section VII!:

1. The Short Affair Challenge (due on Mondays) hosted by JantoJones

2. PicFic Tuesday Challenge (due on Tuesdays) hosted my mrua7

3. A little Drabble Do Ya (due on Wednesdays)  hosted by glennagirl

4. Song Story, hosted by alynwa.

5. Ladies First (about the women of UNCLE) hosted by mrua7 (hiatus)

6. All about April hosted by mrua7 (hiatus)

7. What's my Line? hosted by glennagirl (hiatus)

8. What-if? Hosted by glennagirl

9. The LifeCycle, HODOWE, QUOTEME! Challeges hosted by Carabele (these are rotated)

10. The Great Episode Challenge-hosted by alynwa (hiatus)

11. The Re-Write Challenge hosted by??? This new challenge is not available at the moment.

The challenges are not open at all times, some are on hiatus waiting to be brought back to life.

Not to worry...they're all kept track of on our Calendar posted at the beginning of each month as well as broken down weekly by our very organized Calendar Girl: lindafishes8  

So lots to choose from if you have a hankering to write some fanfiction about our brave Men from U.N.C.L.E. and their adventures to save the world (among other things....)  Pick a challenge or two or choose them all if you're feeling ambitious.  Most of all, have some fun with them!

Other events on Section VII:

Fridays: glennagirl, the maintainer and mother of Section VII, posts the Reading Room which is her personal reading recommendations.

On Saturdays we have the Writer’s Choice! hosted by mrua7. This is an opportunity for writers to rec. their own stories and readers to rec. stories by their favorite authors.

Sunday: we have the Round Table discussion hosted by glennagirl

We also offer Round Robins as well as holiday related events for Easter, Halloween and Christmas.

Hi! The Song Story Challenge is not on hiatus.

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Ooops, sorry. All fixed. Thanks for the heads up.

[alynwa.livejournal.com]

I'd be interested in Ladies First.

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Thanks! We'll be putting all the requests in a poll.

[lilidelafield.livejournal.com]

Very little time at moment for writing, but I'd love to keep the What if?...that really does get the little grey cells firing...

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Thanks for responding I don't think 'What if?" is off the table. I like it myself as it does get you thinking outside the box.

We just want to rotate in one or maybe two of the challenges that are on hiatus, possibly alternating every other week with another already running challenge. Just to freshen things up a bit.

Any questions about the ones on hiatus just ask.

I'd not heard of most of them actually, but I recall reading about the Great Episode Challenge a while back and thinking that it sounds fascinating. I'd love to give that one a go...

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

That's why we want to reintroduce some of them as they've been absent for quite a while.

The ladies of UNCLE is pretty self explanatory...stories about the women who work at headquarters, and the outside villainesses well.

All about April are stories involving April Dancer.

These were both fun challenges as Napoleon, Illya and Mark could be brought into them, while keeping the ladies as the protagonists.

What's my line? is a story based upon a phrase that's given as the prompt, to be included in your story.

The Great Episode challenge was specifically based upon episodes from the show. Alynwa would pose an interesting question or observation about something that happened in the episode in question and your story would be the response to the question. She offered two episodes, each with their own questions or observations.

From a reader-only: the extant drabble challenge seems to produce so much first class writing. I think the 'What If' and Great Episode challenges are very worth keeping, too. But they're all so good!

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Drabbles and What if aren't going away, it's the one's on hiatus that we wanted to hear about.

So you interested in seeing the Great Episode Challenge return then?

Thanks for responding.

writers/readers choice (for those of us who don't write often...), I love the pic fic and short challenge

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

I was only asking about the challenges that are on hiatus. Writer's/Reader's Choice, PicFic and the Short Affair aren't going anywhere, so no worries.

Which of the challenges on hiatus would you like to see return? We want to reintroduce some of them as they've been absent for quite a while.

The ladies of UNCLE is pretty self explanatory...stories about the women who work at headquarters, and the outside villainesses well.

All about April are stories involving April Dancer.

The Great Episode Challenge sounds like something I'd like. I love expanding on scenes in the episodes!

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Great! Thanks for responding!

[threecee.livejournal.com]

If you need to cut down a bit on the ones that are on hiatus, I think the Ladies and All about April could be merged since April stories would fit into the Ladies of UNCLE. I'd also keep the Great Episode challenge; it gets me thinking even if I don't come up with anything I can post.

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

That's true about Ladies first and All about April. Was thinking that myself.

Thanks for responding.
